Thank you to everyone for your positive comments. I'm glad I could help save time & money! I'm still learning here, and other articles / how-to threads have helped me immensely, I'm just trying to give back. I liked writing this "How To", even though the pics and writeup took way longer than the headlight install itself.

I'm beginning to do more maintenance things to my Envoy, and I'm capable of at least documenting them as I go. I'll try and add more write-ups for "the little things" for you guys.

Great write-up - Thanks ! I have a 2004 trailblazer, and I took the airbox out (about 2 minutes) rather than the grill and that worked great for me on the passenger side low-beam. I was able to change the drivers side low beam without removing anything.

Great article with detailed pics; hoping someone would do the same for the TBs. Today, I spent about 2 hours and gave up, as I was not interested in removing the front grill. It turns out of course, I have no choice in the matter. Again, some GM engineer needs to give his head a shake. It’s a silly light bulb, I shouldn’t have to dismantle the front end. There was just no room or enough move play to remove the rubber caps, let alone get at the socket. The next warm, non raining afternoon, I will attempt the grill removal and once all open I will replace the both.

OK I will stop my belly aching about the grill removal for the head light fix. Since I also am interested in repairing the flakey bow tie, it will be useful to remove the grill, and kill three birds with one stone. Have a look at this fellow member YouTube video:

Many thanks for posting these instructions. My driver's side low beam went out a few days ago, and I wasn't looking forward to replacing the bulb. After searching and finding this thread, I realized it was much easier than I expected. It took me longer to get the bulbs than it did to replace them (I replaced both low beams as a pair as is the general recommendation).

Glad I could help! As the weather warms up this Spring and I start to do some more simple maintenance items to my Envoy, I'll be posting some more threads with things you can do with simple hand tools in just about any parking lot.

I live in a large apartment complex, so jack stands / jacks and power tool use are frowned on.

Many thanks for this helpful tidbit of information. This took all of 10 minutes on my `06 Envoy and I also discovered that the passenger side head light assembly had been replaced and that it is broken on the part the light affixes to and it moves around inside the bezel assembly. Off to the wreckers I go!

So I drive a 2006 LT and it has the headlights "without" the notch for the grill bar. I'm looking everywhere I can think of for some good looking updated headlights for her and unless I want to convert to the bar style grill there's no options. Anybody have a good site recommendation?

If you're anything like me you like doing things yourself; cheaply, and efficiently.
Doing vehicle mods cheaply requires knowing EXACTLY what you need and how to install it.
When it comes to replacing stock Trailvoy bulbs with LED, there is a TON of disinformation floating around the internet...

I wanted to remove my side steps and i pull pass side complete assembly and stood back and it does not look good. Has holes and does not look complete. Do i need side skirts from a lower model envoy to fill the space or what. From reading i had done i thought i could just pull it off and go...
